"This [moment] has left some with the feeling that the cheapest, most craven campaign strategies end up being the most successful. In meaningful ways, Mamdani’s campaign was a case study to prove whether a more optimistic and human approach could work in our political moment. He proved that it can."

Constant videos of out-of-control ICE thugs attacking citizens was a lousy Republican charm offensive.

the trump magic is being able to present simultaneously as evil and stupid due to being an occasionally amusing half-informed pathological liar. JD is miles and miles away from this.

Make that make sense.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

If they claim they haven't heard the quote, play it for them and ask for a response.
If they claim it's being taken out of context, play a longer version and ask for a response.
If they try to sidestep the issue, play it over again and ask for a response.

Stephen Colbert's Emmy victory speech:
"Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it. I have never loved my country more desperately. Stay strong, be brave, and if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor!"

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Late-Night’s Last Hope
On Last Week Tonight, John Oliver delivers bad news with a pragmatic optimism. Someone has to.
"Oliver and his writers have built a worldview around the core belief that our government should make sure peoples’ basic needs are met, their rights protected, and their innate value as human beings reaffirmed." I wrote a short piece about an inspiring show. www.vulture.com/article/john...

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:
1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society
2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth
